Tasered Grandma Gets Probation

Edited on Thu Jul-28-05 04:33 PM by proud2Blib

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - A Kansas City grandmother who was at the center of controversy when officers tasered her for honking her horn is now on probation.

Last year, police ticketed the 67-year-old for honking her horn at their police car. She then got into a fight with the officers.

That was when they tasered her, sparking an investigation into their tasering policies.

The probation she received was not for honking her horn but rather for fighting with the police.
